Finding true purpose. God is a mushroom?

This book keeps popping up in my research. Definitely on the list

 

Definitely I want to check this out. It keeps getting brought up at different times in my life. That might mean something.

 

I agree. Plus new discoveries are being made all the time with this stuff! People are starting to waking up to the lying ways of the pharmaceutical industry. It's time to go back to the tried and true remedies that the earth has given us. I'm not 100% anti-pharm, but I do see how over prescribed this stuff is, and usually for completely man made ailments. The world of mycology has so much to offer the world, from food for the body, to food for the soul, medicines, and so much more. They (Mycologists) be making bio leather, and even building materials out of fungus! Mushrooms are also some of the earths only ways of breaking down radiation in the atmosphere. Crazy stuff! I freakin love everything about fungus!

 

Thanks man I appreciate your insight. My experience with chaos and terror has taught me that if that dark and horrible side of my reality is possible, then so is the opposite possible. Peace is totally real. I've been experiencing this sensation of peace and oneness, even in hard times that normally would have crumbled me before.

 

I think there should be a world wide mushroom day where everyone in the world takes them at the same time. Change is possible.

 

I think people get too caught up on the word, God.

If you ask a monotheist where is God, the answer is, 'everywhere.'

If you ask a pantheist what is the ultimate being of the universe the answer refers to a single ultimate force or reality of being.

I think that if India had possessed the dominant culture and defined academic thought at the dawn of the Modern Age, that Hinduism would define monotheism with the Atman as God and the various avatars (or Gods) would have a status akin to angels. Christianity would be considered pantheistic with its God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Mother Mary, Lucifer, and all those angels, each very likely interpreted as a God in a Hindu sense. Christianity on the surface seems to separate God from these other beings, so of course they would each appear as a separate God in the sense that we define each of their deities as separate Gods..

Consider animism. Christians argue that God is everywhere, and when asked, 'where is God not?' the answer is no where, he is everywhere (and this would lead me to all kinds of interesting arguments over morality and so forth, but...), animism argues that the inherently good life force of animism is everywhere, which equates to God being everywhere. It is the strongest or most evident in things that appear from a nonphysical realm. But everything is alive with this power or spirit. So this spirit is so strong in the sun, for example, that we may call it God, or the 4 winds maybe gods in their own right, the Mother Earth is a goddess in its own right. But they all are God's because they manifest this same animist spirit. But we are all alive with that same spirit, and everything else in the physical realm is alive in this manner. The older something is, the more true it is to this inner nature of spirit. A very old tree, for example, in Shinto is sacred because it represents so much of this animating spirit of Kami. In the Lakota tradition, Rocks are respectfully labeled as grandfathers because they are alive and contain this animating spirit, but they have been around for so long and seen so much that there is a sacred respect to the Taku Shkang Shkang or Wakan Tanka (Great Spirit/mystery) that gives them life. How is this really any different than a God that is everywhere?

 

I would love to try mushrooms.

 

I would love to trip on them again. I haven't done since I was a teenager. I don't really have a source. In recent years I have been given mushrrom capsules a few times, but never enough to let me get more than a body high. Now I want to microdose them too----I guess I will have to grow my own.

 

I'm about to take the leap into growing them. Not just the psilly kind. I want to focus on growing for food and medicine purposes mostly. Not gonna lie I'm waiting on some mycelium to take hold on some grain right now. If I am successful, I'd be happy to offer up any tips or advice. Although there's tons out there on the web. When I can get around to it I'll post up some videos or links to anything I might think useful to anyone aspiring to get into mycology like I am! There's lots of people who actually know this stuff. I'm barely even novice level! Thanks all, and much love!

 

I got lost on this thread?
Are mushrooms sacred?

 

If you couldn't tell, I got lost writing this post lol! But I do believe mushrooms to be sacred, and that's not just the psychedelic kind. I think they could help save the planet. Check out Paul Stamets He's been on the fungal solution kick for years!

 

You may know this, if you listen to Stamets, but Lion's Mane is really good to prevent alzheimers.

 

Yes! My friend back on the east coast uses them in his micro doses. Something about the way it works on the brain helps psilocybin latch on better or something? He micro doses for depression, and anxiety and has been off pharms for the past few years and has been living his best life. He's actually the dude who gave me the shrooms that set the ball rolling (sent me to hell for 6 months) to get myself off of narcotics. I owe a lot to that dude

 

I recently re-found my true purpose in existence.
God isn't included and is all out rejected.
I love double mushrooms on my pizzas though.

 

That depends on whether they are deemed 'magic' or not !!!

 

Eating A Pizza Without "Pineapple"....... Will Surely Condemn You To The "Fires Of Hell".........



Cheers Glen.

 

OMG

Did I just open the pineapple pizza valve?

 

all things are sacred, especially the humble dust on which we walk.
the mushroom is a real fun-gi, but a god is something non-physical.

as for "true purpose", the only "true purpose" of sapience, is to create.
(and explore and be generous with what we create and explore,
but its only the create part that is unique to sapience and ultimately defines it)

true porpuses, of course, frollic in the ocean.

 

God is a pizza. Mushrooms and all

 

So... you never paid him for the shrooms... right?
